Overview
Superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) is very common in clinical practice. What's more, around 15- 20% of SVTs occur in the context of cancer. Today, cancer patients are excluded from therapeutic trials for DVT. There is therefore no high-level evidence-based treatment recommendation for these patients. Recent data suggest that the course of cancer-associated DVT is similar to that of cancer-associated deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, there are currently few prospective data on the evolution of cancer-associated DVT in relation to the treatment used. Due to the absence of clear recommendations of treatment in case of SVT associated with cancer the investigators will perform a prospective observational study to evaluate the efficacy of different regiment of anticoagulant treatment ordered in clinical practice.
Primary outcome measures
- risk (in %) of recurrence of VTE [Time frame: at 3-month follow-up]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- association (%) between initial treatment and the risk of SVT recurrence [Time frame: at 3 months]
- association (%) between initial treatment and the risk of SVT recurrence [Time frame: at 6 months]
- association (%) between initial treatment and the risk of SVT recurrence [Time frame: at 12 months]
- Association (%) between initial treatment and the occurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE) [Time frame: at 12 months]
- Association (%) between initial treatment and the occurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE) [Time frame: at 3 months]
- Association (%) between initial treatment and the occurrence of DVT [Time frame: at 3 months]
- Association (%) between initial treatment and the occurrence of pulmonary embolism (PE) [Time frame: at 6 months]
- Association (%) between initial treatment and the occurrence of DVT [Time frame: at 12 months]
- Association (%) between initial treatment and the occurrence of DVT [Time frame: at 6 months]
- association (%) between initial treatment and bleeding events [Time frame: at 6 months]
- association (%) between initial treatment and bleeding events [Time frame: at 3 months]
